"Coco" is the animated story of Miguel's very old grandmother's life. To discover it and to discover his destiny, he must travel to the Land of the Dead to visit his relatives, who are able to visit the living on The Day of the Dead once a year on Nov. 1st. He has 24 hours to return to the Land of the Living or he will be stuck there for good! Miguel wants to become a musical performer, but his family forbids it. This strange land is populated by mostly happy spirits who are remembered fondly by their families. It is a cross between Disneyland (with re-entry portals) and Las Vegas. Evil people do not belong here. There are fabulous creatures here as well: flying dragons and dogs; multi-colored animals. Beautifully and colorfully animated with much music and flair, but not a Disney singing musical by any means. An Oscar Winner! I do not feel compelled to own it, but I enjoyed it quite thoroughly, and you will too.
